More details to this question:
asking me insurance questions - who the primary insured was, my husband''s DOB and social security number. I was actively bleeding during this time period. She also asked us for our insurance cards to make copies of and THEN we were finally escorted to an examine room where I had to be admitted for bleeding from the doctor..... what are my rights when I was not treated first, but instead confronted with insurance questions. This was not a Nevada hospital, we were in California when this occured.

If you did not sustain lasting harm from he delay in care then you do not have a financially viable medical malpractice case. You might consider contacting the patient advocate at the hospital to air your grievance. You can usually find the contact information for that person by visiting the hospital's website.
